Ch1: How to Save a Life

Chi Takashi was already tired but continued pressing on through the forest. She was only nineteen, and had just left her home in the Sound village. To her the timing was perfect to get out and find a new life. She was of medium height, at 5'5, curvy body and hair a little past her shoulders with a red brown color to it. She had pretty, kind brown eyes and wore her headband with pride.

After being nearly killed by a ninja assassin from the village hidden in the mist, she was ready to quit risking her life and especially others. Her team had saved her by a hair – she wanted to protect them with all of her life but couldn't. She had learned from the incident that she couldn't. She had no real friends, and many people (even those in her team) hadn't tried to get to know her. She wanted friends, trust, maybe even love… but most of all a new start. She had left with the clothes on her back, her weapons, and some food. She didn't need much to get by. She was a jonin ninja, well trained and professional. She had been traveling through the forest for two days, and heard noises not too far away. They were dull noises, but she followed it to a small clearing, where she saw a battle taking place.

As she knelt in the shrubs and bushes, she made notes in her mind about who it could be. One man was nearly dead, trying to hold on using his Sharingan eye to mimic moves. The other was familiar- long dark hair and magnetic eyes, with serpent characteristics about him. He was handsome, and was from her village. She then realized it was Orochimaru, her ex boyfriend, whom she hated deeply. She had been plotting a sweet revenge on him for a while, and now was the perfect chance. Silently she moved to a place behind Orochimaru, as he stood over the half dead guy. Orochimaru had an evil grin on his face as he said to the man: (A/N: That just sounds wrong, but it's not what you think.)

"Soon you will be dead and we'll be even."

She found some rope she had, and readied herself for an attack. She jumped out of the bushes and pushed Orochimaru into a tree, quickly binding him to a tree, his hands hogtied behind him. He smirked at her, but she paid no mind,

"Look at the little ninja, trying to be serious," he said.

"Haven't seen you around in a while, Orochimaru, been busy?"

"Sure have, I hate that man, and so should you. And if you let me go, and help me kill him, we could pick up where we left off." He winked at her.

"No thanks," Chi sighed, concentrating her charka to her arms, where the holes in her hand would release the sound.

She used her special jutsu- the supersonic slicing sound wave to kill Orochimaru, leaving him in a cloud of dust.

As soon as the dust had cleared, she saw his ears had been ripped off of his head, and there were puddles of blood on the ground. She checked his vital signs to make sure he was dead. Leaving him there to rot, she approached the heap of a man whom she had just saved. He was winded, tired, and so wounded he couldn't stand. She crouched down by his face, and pulled the mask and headband over the red sharingan eye.

"There, no more need for that right now," she sighed, propping him up and dragging him away from the scene. He was heavy, but she dragged him into the bushes, out of sight from possible enemies.

"I think I'll take you to your village, not mine," she smiled.

"Whatever," he replied, a laid back, carefree expression on his face now. He was a little bit taller than her, around 5'11. He had a bush of spiky light gray hair on his head, and he looked maybe in his twenties. He also wore a navy blue mask over most of his face.

"Who are you anyway?" She asked.

"Kakashi Hatake,m and now I can walk if I lean on something," he smirked.

"You can lean on me, I'll help you to your village."

"Now who are you, and why did you save me?" He asked, pulling a little orange book out of his pocket.

"I'm Chi Takashi, from the sound village., jonin ninja who left home for a new life."

"Interesting," he sighed, his eyes glued to his book.

"Are you listening to a work I say?"

"Or course. I love this book. You should read it some time. I even read when doing survival training with team seven."

"Oh."

"What did Orochimaru mean when he said you could 'pick things up where they left off if you helped him'?"

"Um… we dated a while back. Then he told me I was weak, and that I would never make it as a ninja. Sure proved him wrong. Getting to kill that jerk was SO cool. He was so mean- even to total strangers, to people he knew, and even me."

"Do you need somewhere to stay since you need a new life and all?"

"I guess I can stay in the leaf village with you for a while."

"You should," he said, still glued to his book, as they started walking toward his village.

"Ok, so I will, right now I just want to make good time so we're not stuck in the dark."

It was odd, he wore that mask, yet she could tell he was smiling underneath it.

"By the way," Kakashi sighed as they walked along.

"I have nearly twenty dogs. I hope you like dogs."

The leaf village was nice and friendly, and as soon as Chi wondered into it, helping Kakashi along, everyone seemed to greet them in a friendly manner. He told her how to get to his place, and she took him right there. Dogs were indeed everywhere, but they mostly stayed in a pen at the side of the house. She helped him into the kitchen, the sun setting slowly outside. He sat at the table, still reading. She was hungry, so she decided to boil some rice and shrimp.

"Where's the pots and pans?" She asked.

"Well you could cook, or I was going to take you to the ramen shop, or whatever."

"Okay then," she let out a heavy sigh, shrugging her shoulders.

"Let's go get some ramen then."

"Okay, I have some crutches." He whistled to a ninja dog, who brought its master his crutches.

"Good dog," he said, tossing it a cookie. She smiled at the little dogs, thinking they were amusing and cute.

"Oh, by the way let me see your hands," he said.

She held out her hands to him, as he gently touched the outlet of the piping in her arms.

"I knew someone with these once, protect them, their special."

"I know," she sighed.

"I'm surprised you trust me enough."

She shrugged, as he still touched her hand, no longer paying mind to it.

"Let's go eat some ramen," she said, her stomach growled.
